Can Bolduc play in the AHL next year or is his only option Juniors again, assuming he doesn’t make the Blues out of camp?

He isn’t eligible for AHL. Would love to see him make big club out of camp and see how it goes.

would be awesome to see him play well enough at camp to get to stay for his 9 games and work with the coaches and trainers, and practice with the team

Bolduc's team blew a 3-1 lead tonight to get eliminated in QMJHL playoffs.

Well, looks like we better trade him......

 

[MissouriMook]

Bolduc scored the GWG in the 2nd period tonight. Quebec leads the series 2-1 and has a chance to advance to the final with a win tomorrow.

Bolduc has not been that good honestly in this series so far but the rumour is that he's playing despite a hip injury.

Thanks for all of your updates this season. Did we ever get confirmation of this? I'd love to see him play in the AHL on an ATO while Springfield is still alive, but I can't see them doing that if he has an injury that requires treatment or rest.

Oil Kings vs Seattle WHL Championship preview

The Oil Kings finished the season with a 50-14-3-1 record, capturing a fourth consecutive Central Division title.. The Thunderbirds finished the season with a record of 44-18-4-2, just six points back of the Everett Silvertips for the best record in the entire Western Conference.

Dating back to the regular season, the Oil Kings have won 16 of their last 17 games.

You're welcomed.

No confirmation on his injury. Roy said he wasn't but people close to his family said he was. I don't know. Quebec got beat by a more experienced team on offense.

I'm still pissed about the ref calling a penalty to Quebec with a minute left when the score was 3-3. Shawinigan scored and won the game. They had stopped calling penalties in the 3rd but called a soft hooking.

Bolduc will join Springfield in Laval to be around the team but he shouldn't play.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Bolduc had a groin injury but nothing serious.

Bolduc had “a few minor sores” in the groin, in the playoffs, but the Trois-Rivières native forward refuses to use it as an “excuse or as a reason” to explain what he describes as a lack of jump in recent weeks.

The team's sniper admits to feeling the pressure to produce on offense. “Especially at the start of the playoffs, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. Me and Théo [Rochette] and we were talking about it. We saw our depth with the offense that came from all the lines. It was a relief that it wasn't just us, but four lines that could produce."

A first round pick of the St. Louis Blues last year, Bolduc will join their AHL team, the Springfield Thunderbirds, in Laval in the coming hours. He shouldn't play, unless injuries, but he promises to enjoy the experience.

Avec ou sans Rochette, les Remparts voudront se reprendre l'an prochain

Avec ou sans Théo Rochette, les Remparts de Québec auront une bonne équipe la saison prochaine. La fin de parcours abrupte dans le carré d’as de la LHJMQ cette année pourrait même de servir de motivation et contribuer au retour de leur capitaine l'an prochain.

Oil Kings even up the series, 1-1. Assist for Neighbours

Just went to Tbirds website and Bolduc is listed on roster. Up popped a chat prompt and so I hit it and asked if Bolduc was available to play for the Birds next year and the answer was yes though she was unsure if he would play in playoffs because of injury. She was quite confident he would be playing next year and not sure why they would post him on the roster if not. So there is that.

She is wrong. He isn't eligible to play in AHL next year until his QMJHL season is over. Same as this year. He will be eligible the following year without limitation.

It's 4 seasons in juniors or be 20 by December 31st of the year the season starts. Bolduc doesn't turn 20 till February 24th, and has only played 3 junior seasons.

 

[Stealth JD]

I believe Bolduc can play for Springfield now, since his season is over. He just can't stay in the AHL once his CHL season begins; he has to play junior or NHL hockey at that point. I wouldn't expect him to dress, but he is getting a taste of pro hockey which can only help.

Edmonton up 3 games to 1 over Seattle.

One more win and Neighbours wins the WHL championship and a trip to the Memorial Cup.

It would be nice to have Neighbours have the experience of winning a prestigious championship like The Memorial Cup. Go Oil Kings!

Big W for Neighbours and the oil kings to punch their ticket to the Memorial Cup.

Neighbours looked great, had assists on both oil king goals, including a really nice assist on Guhle's goal and several other grade A scoring chances. He was playing big minutes on the PK & PP, and was on the ice for the final shift defending the lead...you love to see it!

I love to read things like this. I think those Blues fans who think Neighbours is overrated by many posters here, and think his scoring ability in Juniors won't translate on a similar footing into The NHL, are wrong. I can't wait for him to Join The Blues. Their young core needs to have new members added. Too high a % of The Blues' current key players are over 27. They've got to get a bigger proportion of their difference-makers 26 or below. I'm counting on Bolduc, too.

I have always considered players i their prime to be between 27 and 32.

 

[Stealth JD]

I wonder (1) how much the Blues saw of Matthew Robertson with the Oil Kings when watching Jake Neighbors play, (2) how much they liked him in his draft year (49th overall in '19), (3) whether the Blues would have any interest in him today, and (4) whether the Rangers view him as expendable.

He's got the size and handedness needed and his scouting report sounds interesting. But he also sounds pretty vanilla; steady and unspectacular. Not sure if his puck skills and skating would be good enough for top-4 NHL duties, so I solicited the opinions of Rags fans.

Bernard could be our future Tyler Motte with a touch more scoring. I hope he is a little more, but his speed and tenacity will be his primary tools. Berard is being under sold in here. He's incredibly active and effective in all 3 zones with and with out the puck. Wouldn't at all be...

Their only real hole is at center; not sure if we'd have a prospect who'd interest them enough to flip Robertson, or if Barbashev could be sold as such.

While many folks think that way, data indicates it’s several years younger on both ends.
